If you're going to do it, factory film canisters. They don't pop open when you drop them. If you need to know how to wind into them, just ask, and I'll tell you. As for shooting 6-8 pictures on an outing, maybe this is the time to take some time to refine pictures and shoot more of the same thing, with minor variations of exposure, focus and composition. Knock off three or four instead of one real fast, once you have what you think is the best picture in the viewfinder. That is unless you're a street shooter looking for decisive moments. <G> I find that this kind of shooting offers me a better choice in the editing process and avoids ruined pictures from closed eye, or worse looking into the camera, slightly off focus, something that moved into the backgound when I wasn't looking, whatever. I don't mean get a motor and hold the button down. That's lazy, but a refined technique. No matter how good we get, we can get better with harder work. Just a thought. ========================== Eric Welch Grants Pass Daily Courier
